A GTK based viewer for dot files.
Adapted from xdot.py by Jose Fonseca.
- Pan and Zoom
- Center on node
- Follow edges
- Automatic refresh when file changed
N.B.: URL links have been removed to accommodate other features.
- Node regex search
- Side panel showing contents of nodes
- Better refresh support using
inotify
- use GIO for IO and for file watches
- Complete rewrite of parser reusing pygraphviz
- Advanced open:
- Open dot file
- Open xdot file
- Filter to be used
- Get from command: this would prompt for a command to execute to generate the graph to be displayed. Refresh will re-run the command. Save would always prompt for a location and dump the generated dot.
- Modes:
- View: the current one. Allows for exploration, search.
- Edit: would allow to modify the model (attributes) on the fly, saving the modifications to file.
- Options:
- watch = auto reload on changes (cannot be switched off at the moment)
- GraphViz filter to use (maybe put this as a combo in toolbar)
- names of extra attributes to show + defaults
- enable/disable animations
- colors/style of highlights
- Embedded text editor for source (with jump-to-line?)
- Status OSD: loading/layout/reloading/error...
- Stop/kill button
- Search options (search bar?): regex, fields ...
- Update animation: delete/add/move identifying nodes by id (not very reliable but can be useful)
- General overlay mechanism for annotations: url/extra-contents/flags
- Pressing CTRL shows if node has url, ctrl+click jumps to url
- keys to highlight topological features: successors/predecessors...
- Advanced side pane with content parsing:
- booleans (flags)
- markdown
- HTML
- plain text
- JSON
- Filenames (xdg-open/preview for plain-text and pictures)
- nested dot graphs (?)
- Double click triggers the default action on default extra attrib (
contents?) - Attributes in side pane
- Ability to modify attributes from side pane and save to file (?)
